The of the STROBE Statement have HLA-DQA1*01 allele had a high ratio in GC cases with multiple EPIYA-C repeats, been adopted. but this was not significant in the univariate analysis. We compared allele frequencies in the DU cases alone and in GC and DU cases together using the Open-Access: This article is an same criterion, and none of the HLA alleles were significantly associated with GC open-access article that was or DU. Also, none of the alleles were detected as independent risk factors after the selected by an in-house editor and multivariate analysis. On the other hand, in a multivariate logistic regression with fully peer-reviewed by external no discriminative criterion, HLA-DQA1*01 (OR = 1.848), HLA-DQB1*06 (OR = reviewers.

HLA polymorphisms in gastrointestinal disorders INTRODUCTION Gastric cancer (GC) is the third most common cause of death among all cancer types (8.2% of all cancers, 2018, World Health Organization)[1]. GC has been closely associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections, which generally cause mild gastrointestinal symptoms. However, in a few infected patients, they may progress to peptic ulcer (PU) (10%-15%) or GC (1%-3%)[2]. Generally, H. pylori infections cause gastric inflammation and a chronic inflammatory response that result in progressive mucosal damage. Eventually, the gastric mucosa transforms into metaplastic and dysplastic epithelia, which leads to gastric adenocarcinomas[3]. The development of GC is suggested to be related to the interactions between bacterial virulence factors, host genetic factors such as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene, the immune response of the host, and environmental factors such as diet and smoking[4]. Some of the host factors may be related to polymorphisms genes such as HLA genes, which regulate the strength of the inflammatory response and influence the probability of specific clinical results[5]. CagA is among the most important virulence factors specific to H. pylori and is delivered into the gastric epithelium cells by the type IV secretion system (T4SS) of the bacterium. It is involved with
